What has Jose Mourinho said since?

Mourinho decided not to take the incident personally after the match, receiving a full apology from Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as well as Ianni.

He said: "What happened was with [Maurizio] Sarri's assistant and Sarri was first to come to me and say he would resolve the problem internally with him.

"His assistant came to me in Sarri's office and apologised to me.

"I said if you really feel that way I accept your apology and forget it, I'm not going to kill you for one mistake.

"He apologised and I accepted it."

Could Marco Ianni and Jose Mourinho be banned?

In addition to being disciplined internally, Marco Ianni is highly likely to be required to serve a touchline ban.

According to FA rules, occupants of the technical area "must behave in a responsible manner."

Additionally, staff are forbidden from leaving the technical area "except in special circumstances, e.g. a physiotherapist/doctor entering the field of play, with the referee’s permission, to assess an injured player."

Ianni is likely to fall foul of the rules on both of these counts.

Mourinho could also face action for leaving the technical area, but the FA would take in mind the mitigating circumstances of Ianni's provocation.
